Susan Cockrell, LCSW

Susan Cockrell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who draws on five years of clinical work to support people facing a wide range of life challenges. She practices from a compassionate, client-centered stance and adapts evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to meet each person where they are. Her areas of focus include addictions, LGBT concerns, self-esteem, career and workplace challenges, coping with life changes, stress and anxiety, relationships and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting, and depression, along with additional attention to caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and first responder issues.

Susan prioritizes creating an affirming, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore personal growth, heal from past experiences, and build stronger communication and coping skills. She is particularly committed to supporting sexual identity and intimacy matters, workplace difficulties, and transitions that affect identity and relationships. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, practical tools, and compassionate guidance to help clients clarify values, set goals, and improve day-to-day functioning.

Across individual work and short-term coaching, Susan aims to help people manage immediate concerns while fostering longer-term resilience. As a licensed social worker with experience in both Texas and Arizona, she brings an understanding of diverse backgrounds and life circumstances to her clinical work.
